“Ro'im Rachok was founded in 2013 by two Mossad veterans who realized that certain individuals on the autism spectrum could be unusually skilled at spending long hours analyzing aerial reconnaissance photographs and picking out tiny details.[2] In addition to its military benefits, there are social benefits to the program. Military service is mandatory in Israel for almost all citizens, but teenagers on the autism spectrum are exempt.[3] This poses a barrier to advancement in their lives as military service is a significant step in Israeli society for young men, both symbolically as well as professionally. Now, the military increasingly looks at individuals with High-functioning autism as potentially useful.[4] Rather than forcing individuals to remain enlisted for the standard three years, Ro'im Rachok gives individuals the option to enlist in one-year increments once their three-month training is complete. When enlisted, the soldiers are accompanied by a therapist as well as a psychologist for their own benefit as well as to accommodate for some social barriers their commanders and colleagues may encounter.[4] The program also helps to prepare young adults with autism for their futures with training on how to deal with challenging situations related to their civilian life such as public transportation. The program also helps to prepare people for future careers in technological fields and careers. Roim Rachok aims to utilize skills people on the autism spectrum exhibit, as well as end stigma surrounding autism.”
so someone just said they’re “really interested in history” how careful do you have to be?
“i just think history is interesting in general! i’m not interested in any specific part of it”: this person is most likely safe. never drop your guard though
“i’m interested in this specific subject or time period in history. (ex. ancient egypt, the golden age of piracy, the history of the printing press”: still probably safe. be on the lookout for certain risky historical subjects. you should know them you see them
“i’m really into WW2 history”: this is the caution zone, there’s plenty of valid reasons to be into WW2, but if they start talking about how Operation Sealion totally could have succeeded, it’s time to abort
“i’m specifically into roman history, the crusades, prussian military history, and WW2”: danger! do NOT talk about history with this person. in fact, do not talk to this person at all. you will regret it, you do not want to know what they think of the treaty of versailles or why germany lost the first world war
people who hate cats for being “cold” or “mean” never learned emotional intelligence or depth and think that love is only expressed by being submissive and unconditionally obedient
Yknow what? Fuck it, I was looking for a post about it and realised I can just make my own.
People saying Jack Black’s new YouTube channel is proof he’s part of some “reptilian government” or really anything about him that talks about him being related to anything reptilian is blatant antisemitism. Jack Black is a Jewish man. His mother is an ethnic Jew, his father’s a Jewish convert and he’s a practicing Jew raising his children Jewish.
And anyone who’s going head to head with the antisemites posting that stuff who say it’s “silly alt right conspiracies” or in any way belittles the reptilian stuff without acknowledging it’s antisemitic roots should Absolutely be held accountable for learning about why it’s antisemitic and arguing against it. You’re trivialising things used against Jews to harass and oppress us, and you need to stop, get educated, and care about Jews.
This goes a thousand fucking times more because he started the channel with the stated aim of unseating a Nazi sympathizer.
Jeff Bezos in a pair of glasses and fake mustache wrote this
i hope everyone knows OP is not joking because bezos literally owns washington post
So that would explain why they posted this anti-Semitic picture of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , you know, the anti-capitalist Democratic Socialist who stands against everything Bezos is.
What the fuck??!??
i dont get why a media outlet run by the most wealthy jew in the world known for being the worst CEO in the world would run antisemitic headlines?
?? Jeff Bezos is Episcopalian
“mistaking” Jeff Bezos as Jewish isn’t a mistake. It’s a deliberate act attempting to paint Jews as an economic ruling class which we aren’t as part of deliberate scapegoating. Even the richest Jewish people have their worth dwarfed by WASP interests.
Like, Jewish boogeyman George Soros is “only” worth 14 billion. An unconscionable amount of money, but his entire worth, is about 25 percent of one Walton, of which there are like 8. The Koch brothers spend more just on political influence than Soros has to his name entirely.
This is deliberate scapegoating. Abusive Capitalism is THE JEWS per this worldview, so when there is Abusive Capitalism, they’ll deliberately misidentify the heritage of those doing so.
“Take up the Sword of Light, Brave Hero, for you alone are destined to overcome the darkness that assails our lands. You are our only hope!”
“Wait, seriously?”
“Nah, I’m just fucking with you. I’m supposed to say that to every sword-lugging meathead who comes along. You know, as a motivational thing.”
“I’ll be honest, I didn’t feel very motivated.”
“I know right? Like, all glory to the Goddess of Light and whatever, but she’s a terrible speechwriter. I told her you shouldn’t put that kind of pressure on people right up front, and she’s all blah blah, ineffable wisdom.”
“CAN WE HURRY IT UP IN THERE?”
“Whoa, is that Sherri? I haven’t seen her in like four hundred years – what’s she doing here? Is she still doing the Sacred Maiden gig?”
“Yeah. She decided to come along. I made her wait outside.”
“Good call. Literally everything in here is breakable.”
“So… what now?“
“I could give you a seemingly useless
blessing that will coincidentally turn out to be exactly what’s needed
in your darkest hour. The Goddess loves that shit.“
I know things are scary as fuck out there these days, but I know deep down in my bones that we’re gonna get through this. We’re going to have to fight … but we’re gonna win.
Here’s a little optimism and a quote to live by:
“We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how
to accommodate ourselves for a while. For you must not forget that we
can also build. It is we who built these palaces and cities, here in
Spain and America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others
to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of
ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest
doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world
before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our
hearts. That world is growing in this minute.” –Buenaventura Durruti
We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth
Feel-good family comedy: Here, have a preteen boy whose characterisation is wholly defined by his vicious cruelty toward his teenage sister. This makes him entertainingly relatable. Learning to tolerate his unprovoked aggression with good humour will form a major component of the sister’s character arc, while the boy himself receives only a token comeuppance, if we don’t decide to reward him for it instead. This is a happy ending for all concerned.

I sit in my cubicle, here on the motherworld. When I die, they will put my body in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in all the million ages to come, I will never breathe, or laugh, or twitch again. So won't you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment.
